Hi,
has anyone noticed PDO/MySQL will always try to connect locally
regardless of what I put in the host=... DSN part?

The statement:
new PDO('mysql:host=php3.de', '', '***');

will only throw a PDOException:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message
'SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' in /usr/home/thekid/pdo.php:2

This here fixes it:
